I am configuring new RB750Gr3 boards. They are used as home firewall/routers only - no wireless. This is an upgrade from the RB750 for speed.
Each is installed in a different unit in a building served by WebPass. I initially configured the units in the same unit, then moved one to the second unit to complete the installation. While restoring the vpn between the units I pinged one from the other and found neither could see the the other, but they could both see the router:
IP Setup:
Network X.Y.Z.0/24
Unit A: X.Y.Z.5
Unit B: X.Y.Z.123 (initially configured in unit A)
Router X.Y.Z.1
Then I noticed that router B had been given A's IP address in DHCP-client:
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid
INTERFACE USE-PEER-DNS ADD-DEFAULT-ROUTE STATUS ADDRESS
0 ether1 yes yes bound X.Y.Z.5/24
However, in the ip address, both IPs are listed:
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
ADDRESS NETWORK INTERFACE
0 ;;; defconf
192.168.20.1/24 192.168.20.0 ether2-master
1 X.Y.Z.123/24 X.Y.Z.0 ether1
2 D X.Y.Z.5/24 X.Y.Z.0 ether1
Despite this, everything seems to work internally and if I erase the incorrect Dynamic address in B everything continues to work, but I cannot get the DHCP-client to fetch the correct B address.
Also:
Computers in each network (A,B) can self-check their public ip address and these show correctly: A is A and B is B, however, A cannot ping B, and B cannot ping A, and the dhcp-client is mangled.
I cannot set up a VPN until this is resolved somehow. Suggestions?
